Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

Acute

Options:

Dark

Clever

Grave

Blunt

Correct Answer:

Blunt

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word acute is blunt.

  • Acute means "sharp or keen, especially in perception or understanding."
  • Blunt means "having a dull edge or point; not sharp."

The other words do not have the same meaning as acute, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Dark means "lacking light."
  • Clever means "having or showing mental sharpness and quickness."
  • Grave means "serious or solemn."
